The American Thyroid Association (ATA) is sad to announce that Professor Shigenobu Nagataki passed away on November 12, 2016 in Tokyo, Japan, at 84 years of age. He had a long distinguished career in thyroidology. His postgraduate work with Dr. Sidney H. Ingbar at the Thorndike Laboratory and Harvard Unit at Boston City Hospital focused on iodine metabolism in health and disease and the utility of radioisotopes in the study of overall thyroidal economy and pathophysiology. With his return to Japan he began a long, extraordinary and highly productive career that rendered him an internationally acknowledged leader in radiation health issues and the thyroid gland.

Professor Nagataki was a member of the American Thyroid Association since 1969 and one of founders of Asia & Oceania Thyroid Association (AOTA). He served as President of AOTA in 1985, and honorary president since 2000. He was a leader in the International Thyroid Congress (ITC) from its inception and the Program Organizing Committee Chair of the 2000 meeting in Kyoto. His life was dedicated to research for thyroid disease, metabolic diseases and radiation health effects.

He also held memberships in The Endocrine Society, American Diabetes Association, Society of Nuclear Medicine, European Thyroid Association, European Association Study Diabetes, European Association Nuclear Medicine, and was an Honorary member of the following: Japanese Society Internal Medicine, Japanese Society Endocrinology, Japanese Society Thyroidology, Japanese Society Diabetes, Japanese Society Nuclear Medicine, Japanese Society Rheumatology, Japanese Society Clinical Immunology.
